Use Proxies for Reliability

• Keep useApifyProxy enabled for consistent access
• Residential proxy groups can improve success rates in stricter conditions

Keep Runs Clean and Repeatable

• Re-run with the same parameters for comparable snapshots
• Use schedules to automate regular collection windows

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some fields missing on certain listings?

This actor outputs only fields present in the source listing payload. Missing source values are omitted rather than filled with nulls.

Does this actor visit each property details page?

No. It runs in API-first mode and collects from search-result listing payloads for faster and more consistent output.

Can I collect all available properties in a location?

Yes. Increase maxResults and maxPages based on your needs and run budget.

How does pagination work?

The actor follows page index progression from search pagination metadata and stops at your configured limits.

Is duplicate data removed?

Yes. Listings are deduplicated by propertyId within each run.
